Today I am grateful for this beautifully designed package. I had to spend hours and hours in hospital today because of a sudden pain in my foot and leg, and because of my situation taking risks is really too dangerous. Fortunately none of the doctors found anything alarming … When I left home for going to the hospital, I already saw the big envelope in my mailbox but I decided to wait to open it until I’d be back. To have something to looking forward to, no matter what …

Do you want to know what is inside? Of course you want to … Well, let’s have a look!

Isn’t it cute? I am so happy with it. The lovely Lily from The red notebook made this colourful bag and did a give away last week. By the way, if you don’t know Lily’s blog, make sure to have a look! It’s a must! When I saw these little wise animals I felt in love immediately. You can imagine how lucky I feel to be the winner of this handmade bag. And the owls? They are getting ready to explore their new Belgian home and surroundings …

Oh, I just realized this already is the start of the fifth week of our grateful project. My conclusion until now: each day I am getting more and more conscious about the abundance of things and people I am and feel grateful for … In fact, it’s rather difficult to choose only one thing to post, instead of some … My personal gratitude journal is growing and growing and I really love this feeling of being grateful … It’s as the Universe is smiling brightly at me and I love and cherish this feeling. I am grateful for it, very grateful …

Wishing you all a cosy and colourful autumn WE! Treat yourself with a walk through nature and have a conscious look at its beauty! You will see: the Universe is not only smiling at me …

i am sorry you are having pain. i love it though, that you got a lovely present on the same day. i am very impressed that you didn’t open it right away. i can tell you are way more together than people your age.

dear Lily is truly gifted. I’m glad it was nothing bad but I’m sad about the pain you’ve to endure. hope your weekend turns for the best. I really admire your gratitude project. to me it’s not easy, living with a passive-agressive mother. there is always some tension. I wish I could have my freedom back, but than I would be all alone again. life can be tricky, lol. xxo
